Surfboard Planning Drum for Skil 96 planer * Smoother Finish with no tear-out. Each knife sits at a slight angle and produces a shear cut. Spiral cutterhead planes board in a staggered way which is much better than a single straight cut. The combined shear and staggered cut eliminates tear-out and leaves a glossy surface finish on even highly figured hardwood. * Noise is dramatically reduced as the spiral cutterhead allows a few knives to cut in a staggered way. * More than 10 times the life use of high-speed steel. The 15x15x2.5mm inserts are made of sintered tungsten carbide which is much harder than high-speed steel. Each insert has four edges. * Easy to change. The knives are precision ground to a tolerance of +/-0.0004" or +/-0.01mm and are interchangeable. Loosen the screw, rotate 90° for a new edge, and tighten the insert in minutes. * Dust extraction is easier. The spiral cutterhead produces thinner and shorter chips. * Low cost to use. Spiral cutterheads produce a smoother finish, reduce or eliminate sanding work, and don't require sharpening, your product will pay for itself in a very short time. Spiral Cutterhead specifications: * High tensile alloy steel shaft for long durability. * Aluminum cutter block reduces over heat resulting from the weight. * Tungsten carbide insert knives installed. Kit includes: (5) extra knives as spare parts (5) extra screws (1) Torx-headed wrench.
